New Nanmu Studio saltwater crocodiles have been announced. A pair of articulated saltwater crocodile figures will be available in 2026. Collectors and fans of Nanmu Studio can choose from the “Lord of Blood” or “The Omen King”. The Nanmu Studio saltwater crocodiles have twenty-nine points of articulation. Furthermore, the models measure around thirty-five centimetres long. Based on an adult male saltwater crocodile measuring around five metres, we estimate a scale size of around 1:15.
These two crocodilians will be available late in quarter two or possibly quarter three.
Nanmu Studio offers two saltwater crocodile figures (“Lord of Blood” and “The Omen King”). Each model has twenty-nine points of articulation but a different colour scheme.

Models of Crocodylus porosus are a departure for Nanmu Studio. The company normally focuses on extinct animals or replicas of prehistoric animals that have featured in movies. However, the world’s largest crocodilian would certainly be at home in a world dominated by dinosaurs. The phylogeny of ancestral crocodilians that led to modern, extant genera (Neosuchia) is disputed. Ancestral forms may have been present in the Early Jurassic.
The range of the saltwater crocodile is extensive. It has the largest geographical range of any living crocodile. These reptiles range from Sri Lanka, along the India coastline, through south-eastern Asia, Papua New Guinea and to the northern coast of Australia. It is extremely aggressive and attacks on people do occur.
Two Nanmu Studio Saltwater Crocodiles
Each figure has twenty-nine points of articulation. The two figures have different colour schemes. The “Lord of Blood” figure for example, has a greenish tinge. The colouration of saltwater crocodiles can vary considerably. It seems logical to offer two figures with different colouration.

The Largest Living Reptile
The saltwater crocodile is at home in fresh, brackish and saltwater. It is sometimes referred to as the estuarine crocodile. Males are bigger than females and the largest captive specimens can reach lengths in excess of six metres. Even larger individuals have been reported. It is the largest extant reptile.

Sue from Everything Dinosaur praised the detailed Nanmu Studio saltwater crocodile figures and added:
“The engineering that has gone into these two crocodiles is remarkable. They will look fantastic next to other Nanmu Studio articulated models.”
